Does this shaver require a special cleaner like the Braun?

Deep clean is not necessary regularly, if cleaned under running water aftereach wet shave
9186
No special cleaner required.I run mine under tap water for three months of use. Then I clean it with the included deep cleaner module and I'm good for another three months.

The jet clean system uses a special cleaner that is included. But you can clean the shaver with out using the jet clean system as well.

Norelco has a Jet Clean solution that comes with the razor . It is suppose to last up to one month. However, after a wet shave, you rinse the head with hot water and let air dry. The razor is very clean after each shave. I can seey bottle of solution lasting at least twice that long. The bottle is 10 oz.s.

Yes, the unit ships with a small amount.Replacement is not too high of a cost. I clean mine under running water with the heads open, then deep clean once each 5 or 6 weeks.

Sorry I do not have a beard. Occasionally I will not shave for 3-4 days and when I use the Braun it shaves very well. I love the Braun

It works ok. The shave is not as close as the better Braun models. It is a wet/dry model , so it has versatility.

I've only had mine a short time, but I don't think so, not the way Braun makes shavers. They have always lasted a long time.

Good purchase, yes. It takes some getting used to (since I used a Braun before). Also, you need to clean it after every use.

I haven't used the Braun so I have no basis for comparison. I have used the Panasonic and it's a great razor for the price point. Sturdy construction, shaves well even in the shower and makes for a great travel razor.

No, it keeps it under the cutting edge and then you have to clean it out after you're done, usually by tapping it against the sink and rinsing it under the water. This one is a lot better than the previous Braun I had for a long time - the shave is a lot closer and I'm very happy with it.

I really don't know since I returned this item after a few weeks. It just didn't provide a close shave. I now use the Braun 7 series which gives a great close shave.

Hi, Yes, this wonderful shaver does indeed come with a small cleaning brush (almost two inches in length). Besides cleaning the blades, you can also remove the blade portion of the shaver by pressing on two identical small round white buttons on each side of the shaver (both located just below the blade portion) and clean the cutter below the blades with the same tiny brush. The instructions on how to properly clean this shaver are included in the manual inside the product's box (if you're going to purchase it in brand new packaged condition).

Braun does not recommend you use the series 7 wet shaving. Some of Braun's series 3 can be used wet

My wife bought me the Braun 390CC-4 shaver since I have very sensitive skin and have never been able to shave with a safety razor without breaking out. I get a very smooth shave with the Braun and heartily recommend the "clean and renew" feature. It really does a great job of keeping the unit in topnotch shape shave after shave. Every shave is like having a new shaver!!!

I'd like to respond with authority but I have no basis to determine its effectiveness. I have an average beard an need a shave at least once a day. The Braun didn't work well for me and I would not recommend it for anyone. My old remington works the best...even better than the new Remington. So much for the newer the better.

My beard is really tough and it takes quite a while for me to get a close shave, but the Panasonic does a better job than any other shaver I've ever used. Leave the cleaning base at home and just take the charger/cord with you on the road. I can get about 10 shaves on a charge, but I plug the shaver in overnight when on the road. If you clean the shaver under running water you will never *have* to clean it in the base, although that's what I do when not travelling. It's a great shaver... You can't go wrong. I've got the ES8228 and the ES8109. They're pretty much the same shavers with different trim. I replaced a Braun 360.

I don't know. Shaver came with cleaning tub and solution is put into tub every two weeks. Shaver lowers itself down into solution after every shave and cleans the shaver. Does remarkable job but don't know if it would work without the tub.

Yes, it does give a clean shave - maybe not quite like 'just like razors' but close. Probably depends to some extent how heavy your beard is to start with. Certainly better than my old Braun.

It comes with a small cleaning brush or you can rinse it in the sink. This shaver did not work well for me so I went and bought another brand.

No - The razor just does fine being thoroughly rinsed or shaken in very hot water, without being taken apart after each shave. A complete rinse or blade change if necessary, probably about once every 5 or 6 or even more shaves depending on beard type and this seems to be sufficient, This is based this on my stubble which is a very stiff and heavy type.
